Municipal water in the Town of Montville is sourced from the Groton Reservoir and pumped through the Gales Ferry section of Ledyard and then beneath the Thames River to provide for customers along the Route 32 corridor. The earliest municipal water service in town was initiated in the 1980s.
Water bills are based on usage and sent out quarterly. If, after 30 days a bill is not paid, late fees are assessed, and eventually, non-payment results in termination of water services. Bills are based on volume of consumption over the past 90 days.
Water Rates
Water rates are set by the Montville Town Council on the recommendation of the WPCA.

Bringing Water To Montville
Montville’s WPCA played a major role in the very complicated, multi-government success story, known as the Thames Basin Interconnection Project, which provides municipal water in town. The end result of the regional effort pipes water from Groton Utilities through the Town of Ledyard and across the Thames River to Montville to service townspeople and the Mohegan Sun Casino.

Tips & Troubleshooting
If your water consumption suddenly goes up, check for drips, leaks, open faucets, and make sure that toilet flappers are functioning properly. Also, in warm weather, increased consumption is often the result of watering gardens, washing cars, and filling swimming pools.
